Summary
Boardman Bros Limited, based in Manchester, UK, is a small holding company with an active status, celebrating twenty years since its incorporation in December 2004. The company employs sixteen people and holds assets totaling £4,064,616. It has a real address and is managed by three directors and one owner. Boardman Bros is a regular importer and exporter of headgear and accessories, with 156 months of import activity and 27 months of export activity recorded, the latest being December 2024.
The company operates as a wholesale supplier of accessories, boasting a century-long history and employee ownership. Its website highlights a focus on design, sourcing, and supply, catering to retailers with a range of services including private label design, ethical production, and ready-to-ship collections. It even has a showroom in Harrods, London. The business also offers piano restoration services, with a division operating from Cambridge.
Financially, Boardman Bros Limited presents a mixed picture. While investments in group undertakings participating interests rose by 15%, cash bank on hand saw a significant increase of 180%, reaching £510,000. However, trade debtors decreased by 21%, and net assets increased by 15%, to £1.9 million. Creditors decreased by 13%, suggesting improved debt management. The company’s small size—meeting two of three conditions for being a small company—allows for agility, but the decline in trade debtors could indicate challenges in collecting payments. The accounts are unaudited, as the company is exempt from audit due to its size. The company’s auditor is not mentioned.
Registered in England/Wales under the registration number 05318077, with a registered address at M17 1QS, England, Manchester, Unit 10 Clarence Avenue, Trafford Park.
